Every year, Forbes magazine ranks the highest-paid “front of the camera” celebrities. These rankings are based on stars’ pretax income, this year from June 1, 2016, through June 1, 2017, calculated from box office earnings, music rankings, book sales, two paycheck stubs, how they ball out at the club and their mamas’ bragging at church.

While the list is compiled by extensive research, after viewing this year’s collection of talent, we had a few thoughts about the black celebrities ranked on the list:

1. P Diddy: How is P. Diddy No. 1? Forbes reports that the bulk of the $133 million he earned this year comes from Global Brands Group dropping $70 million for a majority stake in Sean John apparel, which is a pretty good deal, considering that GBG could have bought only two—maybe three—pairs of Sean John jeans for that price. Also, does Biggie get any of that money? Did Puffy/Puff/P at least give Mace a few pair of jeans? Shouldn’t Shine at least get a sweater?

I’ve loved P. Diddy since he kept his nickname sequestered in quotation marks, but this scares me. I don’t mind his success, but this news will only cause more rappers to start their own clothing lines. Every time I’m in Macy’s, I never see anyone shopping in the section that sells Lil Wayne clothes, and aside from that one time he wore jeggings at the MTV Awards, I’ve never heard a soul say, “Did you see Weezy’s outfit?” Just prepare yourselves to see Lil Yachty hair beads in every Sally’s Beauty Supply.

Those Uzi Vert Rompers are gonna be lit, though.

2. Beyoncé: Do your thang, girl. You are going to need that money when those twins drop. It’s not that babies will need the $105 million you made last year, but we all know how sibling rivalry works: Every time the twins get something new, Blue Ivy’s gonna whisper to them: “I got one of those when I was your age—but mine was gold-plated.”

4. Drake: I don’t think this should count—because Drake is Canadian. A take of $94 million in American money could be a billion in Canadian dollars, or $7.43 (I don’t do math very well—I’m American). In any case, that’s a lot of money for “Emo Brown,” the hip-hop, light-skinned version of Keith Sweat.

6. The Weeknd: I think it was the haircut. Most of the Weeknd’s $92 million last year came from the fact that he saved a lot of cash not buying combs and hair grease. His music is fire because it is romantic thug music, as opposed to Drake’s, which is as nondescript as bathroom-sink lukewarm faucet water running over celery and carrots wrapped in cabbage on a white paper plate.

I really hope the Weeknd can afford to buy that extra vowel for his name, now. If not, I’m gonna continue pronouncing it phonetically, calling him “the Weakened.”

13. Justin Bieber: I know he’s not black, which is why I need to know if we can get some of that $83 million back in cultural-appropriation tax.

22. Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson: I always wondered if we should claim “the Rock” or not; then I found out that Dwayne’s father—wrestler Rocky Johnson—descended from Black Loyalists—slaves who rose up against their American masters and fought with the British during the Revolutionary War. Who knew?

25. Kevin Durant: KD made the $60.6 million. His mother wasn’t on the list, but I’m sure she was close by.

She’s the real MVP, you know.

40. Calvin Harris: I don’t even know who this guy is, but I saw his name and was proud to see a black man pull in $48.5 million. I’ll just look up his bio and tell you that ... what? He’s not black? But his name is Calvin Harris!

Not only is he white, but he’s super white, with red hair. Also, he once dated Taylor Swift. I bet they only ate white bread dipped in milk—because mayonnaise was too spicy for them.

42. Steph Curry: He ranks 42nd on the list, with $47.3 million, but there was no mention of his wife, Ayesha. She probably said, “Only promiscuous women appear on lists.”

55. Jay Z: Hov slipped to No. 55 because he’s mostly a stay-at-home dad now. Plus, he has two baby cribs he has to put together, and that takes time.

While that might seem funny, Jay Z and I made the same number of albums last year and toured the same number of days—only he made $42 million, and I made ... let’s just say it was slightly less than $42 million.

95. Chance the Rapper: The fact that Chance made $33 million is incredible, considering that he has never sold a single album to a customer. No label tried to stop him because they knew who’d show up in the lobby.

96. Carmelo Anthony: He earned $32.6 million, which means LaLa might be on the list next year when she adds Melo’s $16.3 million to the $792 she earned last year.

99. Kevin Hart: The comedian earned $32.5 million, which is phenomenal for someone who can still shop in the kids’ section. Even though he works twice as much as most people on the list, it is still a lot of cash for someone who’s half as tall ... or funny.
